"Your Majesty, the treasury is fine..."

Speaking of this, Li Ang, the chief internal officer, was also very happy. Fortunately, the treasury was fine. If everything in the treasury was gone, he would be really crazy!

At this time, Emperor Xuanwu was certainly relieved.

And after thinking about it, he quickly reminded:

"Although it is a good thing that it has not been stolen, we cannot relax our vigilance. We immediately stationed more people outside the treasury and carefully checked whether there were any tunnels in the treasury.

The security of the national treasury must not be compromised."

"No!" Even though Emperor Xuanwu didn't even ask him to do it, the chief internal officer had already done it, but he obviously couldn't refute the emperor's face, so he could only agree.

Then, he continued to say rather awkwardly:

"Your Majesty, almost all the noble families and clans in the capital, as well as the rich officials, are gathered around the Meridian Gate, begging for a thorough investigation and to find out the truth.

Except for those few rebellious princes.

Most of the other clans are here."

Spread the news about the theft of my Nenu.

I believe that this time, the whole government should work together to do one thing like never before. If the truth of the matter cannot be found out and those things cannot be recovered, then I am afraid that this matter was not done by humans.

However, although Emperor Xuanwu was anxious and wanted to know how the investigation was going, he was still able to hold back his emotions and asked without changing his expression:

In addition, the three departments were ordered to conduct a joint investigation to find out the truth of the matter, recover the stolen items, and allow those officials to jointly investigate at all costs.

Does it have anything to do with my rebellious Aunt Jiahe, the first rebellious princess in history? Why haven’t the others been caught yet? Didn’t they find their escape route? Tell me, what’s going on?”

If there were no accidents, Princess Jiahe and her private soldiers should have escaped through the underground passage of the Ancestral Temple. The information that can be found so far is that they seemed to have taken nothing with them, and they galloped southward.

But still no property was recovered.

Go down, I’m tired!”

After our investigation, we found that it is absolutely impossible for the Yong'an Marquis Mansion to be unaware of this matter, but for some reason they seemed to be uninformed and none of them ran away.

So we sent people to conduct a blanket search around the capital.

Princess Jiahe must have planned it for a long time, but at the same time she seemed very sure that the rebellion would not succeed, so she had already made preparations to escape before the rebellion, such as sending away the farmhands, maids and servants in her village in advance.

Send away your personal nanny.

It was rare for Emperor Xuanwu to see the nobles and nobles of the officials, and even the clans were so neatly arranged, basically no one was included. Generally speaking, except for the nobles or clans with real power and higher than the fifth rank, most of the remaining clans with noble clans were

There is no need to go to court, but they all came today.

"How is the investigation of the theft case in Beijing going?

Under normal circumstances, if a few princes have just rebelled and been arrested, the remaining princes and clans, even if they have nothing to do with the matter, will definitely be very scared and will stay at home as long as they can, for fear of being implicated, but now even they

They all had the courage to go to the Meridian Gate to cause trouble. You can imagine how heavy the losses were. Their lives were not as important as the money they lost.

Zichen Palace, inside the Chaozheng Hall.

After all, everyone was the same. They all had their entire family stolen by thieves, even the emperor was no exception. I instantly felt more balanced. Although I was still distressed, my mood did feel a little better and I was less panicked.

What followed was, of course, exactly as Emperor Xuanwu expected. Everyone worked together to mobilize all their resources and manpower to thoroughly investigate the matter, and no one was left behind. To put it bluntly, at the end of the dynasty, the capital was destroyed.

Millions of barbarians surrounded them, and the civil and military nobles of the entire dynasty probably wouldn't work together like this.

"Thorough investigation, thorough investigation! My internal funds will not end up with them. If they are anxious, won't I be anxious?

I was really busy from dawn to dusk, lighting torches from dusk to dawn, until morning the next day.

On the other side, the people who were blocking the Meridian Gate soon learned that the palace had been stolen. While they were shocked, some people might still feel a little secretly happy in their hearts.

This is the same for all stolen funds, including yours. We have discovered and opened more than 800 underground passages in the entire capital city. We don't know yet whether any of them are hidden.

There is no way. Although they do not have the same interests this time, their interests are harmed. They have basically suffered losses. Can they not work together to recover the losses?

Then, some of Qu Jie's hidden operations, such as the underground passages dug in all directions, were discovered one after another, and they were clearly understood. At the same time, before it got dark, someone discovered the escape passages among the countless secret passages.

The final whereabouts of Qu Jie and the others revealed that they had left the capital and fled south.

Although they have a lot of guesses.

Immediately afterwards, of course, some people hurriedly dispatched their own troops, and even the imperial army chased south. Some people firmly believed that it would be difficult to transport so much gold, silver, jewelry, antiques and treasures on the way to escape, and they were probably still nearby.

Our preliminary guess is that it is impossible for so many gold, silver, jewelry and antiques to be transported away quickly without any clues and without any movement. If they took those things with them, they would not be able to run so fast, and it is even less possible for them to have only one person on the road.

There are no horse wheel prints, so the gold, silver, jewelry and antiques should still be nearby, but I don’t know where they were hidden, and I’m still looking for them.

Able to reach directly outside the capital city.

In addition, there is a passage in the Ancestral Temple.

We at Dali Temple have probably found these!"

After giving instructions, Emperor Xuanwu waved his hand for Li Ang to go down, and took the people next to him down too. It wasn't that he was sleepy, it was mainly because he had a headache and was tired. He really couldn't figure out why his aunt suddenly went crazy.

He rebelled, and by what means did he steal all his money? What on earth was he doing?

I really can't figure it out, I have no clue.

One can imagine that they were really anxious.

…

In addition, Princess Jiahe's plan may have been planned a long time ago, because we found that all the families whose public and private treasury were stolen have an underground passage, and that passage can lead directly to the Furong Garden of Yong'an Marquis Mansion, which is Jiahe

The courtyard where the princess lives.

…

"Your Majesty, it is difficult to say.

After all, Dali Temple is the main force in solving the case, so of course it is Dali Temple's prime minister who stands up and sums it up.

Then, what was more surprising was that the Minister of Industry immediately stood up and said: "Your Majesty, I have something important to report!"

"I request your Majesty to immediately send people to fill in as many underground passages as possible. Although I don't know how many years it took Princess Jiahe to dig so many underground passages under the capital, I just looked at the underground passages.

The distribution map of the passages feels particularly scary. There are too many, too dense, and too long.

Almost half of the entire capital city was hollowed out.

If there are no accidents, there will be heavy snow this year. When spring comes next year, after the heavy snow melts, the entire capital will be at risk of collapse. Even if it can barely survive without collapse, the capital will still be at risk if there are heavy rains next year!
